I turned 33 last week 🎂

Lately I’ve felt like I’m being pulled between two different chapters of life. For years I assumed overachieving, goal-setting, and productivity would be the norm for my adult life. But in the last couple years I’ve been pulled towards the soft, slow and fun feelings of life that remind me of my childhood, a phase of life that was free of pressure.

I spent most of my 20s and the start of my 30s grinding. I always had the next goal in mind. Each next “step” to take in life was clear, and I took each next step without taking the time to actually bask in the achievement of the last one.

But now I’m kind of just floating? And it feels good at times. And other times it’s deeply uncomfortable and my ego voice pops up in a panic and screams “set more goals!!!”

But then I ask myself what’s the rush? I worked my t***y off to afford the life I have now. I always had a clear vision of being my own boss, working 4 day work weeks, finishing my workdays by 3pm, and living close to a beach to take my breaks at low-tide and collect seashells to adorn my home with.

What’s the good in jumping from goal to goal if we don’t take the time to just bask in all we’ve achieved? The ego can tell us we’re not worthy of sitting still, of resting, of just enjoying a state of being. It can label us a procrastinator or lazy, when everything that our life reflects suggests the opposite.

Not to mention the goal posts will continue to move for infinity. You think hitting 6 figures will make you happy, but then the high of that comes and goes and you’re soon wondering, why not more?

All I can say is give yourself permission. If your spirit wants to take a pause on all the capitalism and ego-driven behaviours that our modern life comes with, then take that pause.

Take the pause free of guilt or shame or regret. You don’t have to keep pushing through just because your ego tells you to.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading this ramble. I appreciate my little Solace community and for you guys being here regardless of what phase of life I’m in.

Happy Gemini season ♊

Some cute little reminders for the month of May


This month I’ve been spending more time in my happy places: gardening, reading a book on the couch and having breakfast in the sun.

The best month of the year, imo đŸŒ·

If your phone ran out of battery, you wouldn’t keep trying to use it đŸ€ł

You’d plug it in, set it aside, and give it time to charge before expecting anything from it.

It’s easy to forget that our bodies work in a similar way.

When your energy feels off or things start to feel like too much, it’s often a sign you’ve been running on low for a while đŸȘ«

Stepping outside, being around nature, or just giving yourself a bit more quiet can help your system settle.

Not everything needs a fix, a supplement or a protocol.

Sometimes your body just needs space to recharge đŸŒ»

The way you think about what your body “needs” will change depending on how supported you feel.

When you’re overwhelmed, everything starts to feel like something you need to fix.

You try to push through, add more, or figure out what you’re doing wrong. It starts to feel like if you could just find the “one thing” underlying your symptoms, then you’d have it aaall figured out


When I was at my lowest in my health in my 20s, the more I tried to “fix myself” the more symptoms would pop-up. It was like I was playing whack-a-mole and it was utterly exhausting.

The irony is that when we take time to regulate, we receive the clarity on what we actually need.

You can recognize when you’re tired, when you need to slow down, when you need to say “no” and when your habits need adjusting instead of assuming something is broken.

It’s the same body, just a different state of perception.

Symptoms can start to make sense when you start looking at the conditions your body has chronically been responding to 🌿

We’re over halfway into spring already


and things might feel a little different without any clear reason.

Your energy might feel lighter on some days, your sleep slightly off, and your routine not landing the same way it did a few months ago.

There’s more light, more stimulation, and your system is still adjusting to that change.

You might feel more social while also needing more downtime.

Your appetite can shift, your focus can vary, and even your usual habits might feel harder to maintain.

None of that means something is wrong.

This time of year isn’t about starting over or needing to “tighten up” habits.

Just noticing, adjusting where needed, and allowing your body to find its own natural pace is enough 🐝

What I eat in a day doesn’t look perfect, and it’s not meant to.

My rule of thumb when I eat a meal is asking myself “does my plate have at least 25-30g of protein on it?”

If not, I’m going to be hungry within an hour or two of eating, and it won’t be sustainable.

The goal is enough protein, 90% whole foods, and meals that are actually satisfying so I’m not thinking about snacking all day.

I still eat out, I still choose convenience sometimes, and I don’t try to make every plate “optimal.”

The goal is to support my body in a way that feels realistic to maintain without taking up too much mental space. If I’m overcomplicating my meals, I’m going to get cooking burnout and fall off track.

When your meals are balanced, hormones, energy, cravings, and digestion will feel a lot more stable without needing to overthink it đŸ€
